Beer Fridge Staple(s)

zombiw dust, gbh or yumyum one of those three. what ever home brew on tap and some stouts, saisons and sours

 

I'll point out that my fridge beer is different than my cellar beer

When possible, I try to keep fresh Sucks around.

 

The Ska mixed pack with ESB, True Blonde, & Modus.

 

Summer - Weihenstephaner Hefeweissen, LaChouffe, Konig Pilsener, Orval
Winter - Anchor Porter/St bernardus Abt 12/Gulden Draak/Scotty Karate

 

I try to keep some sort of stout in my fridge on a regular basis. I don't drink with great frequency (about a beer a week - on the weekends), so a 4 pack can last me about a month and 6 packs stretch even further.

Generally these have been in my fridge with more regularity than others:

Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout (year round)
YDCS (year round)
Ten FIDY (year round)
FBS (pick up a 4pk when it is released each season)

 

I've found that as I explore the wonderful world of beer even more the idea of having "staple" beers has faded for me a bit and now I have what i would call more along the lines of "frequent visitors". There are simply too many styles and types for me to always have one in particular on hand, but if my refrigerator had some frequent freezer program here are a few that would have racked up some serious points:

Burton Baton
FBS
Tank 7
La Fin Du Monde
Two Hearted
Duchesse De Bourgogne

 

Sucks,hop stoopid,and a 6er of sierra nevada

 

i have Serria Nevada Plae ale and Victory Hopdevil on tap at all times in the house and I always have Gunniess on tap as well on Nitro . as far as in the bottle/cans i always have a good Stout. this time of year i have a crap load but normally i always have Milkstout from left hand or lancaster and Stromking as its a big imperal that is priced right in my area. been keeping dirtwolf in the bottle as well , would love to beable to start getting the dirtwolf on tap as well to switch out with the Hopdevil...

 

I typically have 2 to 4 staples in my fridge at all times.

Bale Breaker Field 41 Pale Ale
Bale Breaker Top Cutter IPA
Lagunitas Pilsner
Shiner Bock

Those are probably the beers I drink the most of each year and will satisfy the usual visitors to my house. Of course, I have a lot of other stuff in there, but these are the staples.

 

Two Hearted. Always.

 

lately i've been mixing it up like crazy so i tend not to have the same beer in my fridge from week to week.
previously some go too's for the season have been
celebration
backwoods bastard

 

Two Hearted, Anti Hero, Daisy Cutter, Furous.

 

I always have a good pilsner for my 75-year old mother. Hardywood Pils as of late. Sixpoint The Crisp before that.

 

Lefthand milk stout is almost always in my fridge. As is Ten Fidy when it's available.

 

21st Amendment Bitter American... just hoppy enough, just malty enough, just low-ABV enough to please most of my friends.

 

Pliny, Cellar Maker Growler, Rare Barrel Growler

 

Duvel, Fullers ESB, Old Rasputin, Rodenbach, Pilsner Uruqell. There always seems to be a few of each these kicking around in my beer fridge at all times.

 

(Insert any New Glarus offering here.)
GLBC Eliot Ness
GLBC Dortmunder Gold
Spring-Weihenstephaner Hefe and GLBC Chillwave
Summer-Saisons (wish we got Boulevard Tank 7 here) and SN Summerfest
Autumn-GLBC Oktoberfest and Weihenstephaner Oktoberfest
Winter-Bells Expedition Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout, and Bells Third Coast Old Ale

If Toppling Goliath would make four-six packs, I would have those in my fridge as often as possible.

 

Torpedo
Dales Pale Ale
Founders Centennial (cans)
Labatt's Ice
Coors Banquet
